Bearded vulture & Steller`s sea eagle studies

I spend my day yesterday in Nürnberg, meeting clients in a Fair. I knew I had time after the meeting and went to the zoo hoping to sketch some of the raptors.

The weather was against me it was raining all the time and I had to hold umbrella and sketchbook with the left hand and sketching with the right..I used various fineliners. Bearded vulture study, sketched using various finliners The majestic Steller`s sea eagle has been sketched also during the rain.
